[ooc: This is a joint post with

caliburns, because misunderstandings happen a lot with these guys. Expect responses from both of them.]

[The phone fell to the floor when a small misstep caused Lancer to nudge the table it was on--in accordance with Murphy's Law, of course the video turned on. For the moment, it focused mainly on a lump of sheets and blankets a skilled eye might recognize as Saber. Just offscreen, a familiar voice could be heard muttering to himself.]

...thought for certain it was here yesterday, it's not as if it could just wander off.

[Lancer wandered onscreen, mostly in the background as he carefully examined yonder closet.]

[Now, Prospero, you may well notice three things about Lancer. One is that his hair is notably disheveled. Another is that he has a nasty looking pair of scars from some kind of stab wound lined up on his chest and back.]

[The third, directly following the second, is that he's not wearing a shirt. Sharing a room with Saber and not wearing a shirt. Scandalous. ~~Also hot damn.~~]

Are you awake, Saber? I seem to have lost something. [Pause.] Additionally, I think that perhaps we should discuss last night. That was an occurrence of no small significance for both of us, I think.

[Silence. The blanket lump shifted--you have disturbed the sleeping lion, Lancer.]

...It is at least safe to say I will be feeling the effect of that final thrust for some time yet, Lancer.

...perhaps the conclusion was a bit more forceful than I'd intended, yes.

[WELL SHIT PROSPERO, DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. TOO BAD, VIDEO CUTS OUT THERE.]

Fighting again, you two? I'm going to start keeping an eye on you both to keep you out of trouble. [ Annoyed Sergeant is annoyed. ]

Really, you need not imply there's any malice between us. Quite the opposite.

That's not the point. If you keep wounding and exhausting one another you're of no use against the Shadows. I'm Mournival, I understand a friendly rivalry and playful brawling...

But if you leave Saber unable to fight after one of these little fights I'm going to be very unhappy with both of you. Or vice versa.

I would do no such thing. The Fianna were no fools, Garviel. I know incapacitating her or myself would be an utterly stupid thing to do.

... Good. We can't do this without you two. Remember that.

I owed this fight to her. We needed to settle something, and I kept her waiting for much too long.

Well, as long as this is the last one, I won't be annoyed.

I suppose only time will tell. I've no idea if she plans to seek a rematch in the future, and if she does I will have to accept.

Someday I'll have to show you both what an Adeptus Astartes can do.

[ Answer: Cheat like a mad bastard. ]

Our duels tend to be interrupted. Last night we finished what we started years ago.

At this rate I'll be the one interrupting them. Throne of earth, both of you, you're worse than Lucius was.

You're not going to do this again, are you?

I lost honorably and am not the type to seek out another duel to embarrass myself further. Our battle was finally concluded and we both know now who the victor would have been during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

[ That's a no. ]

Good. You did fine work recently, Arthur. I'm glad to fight with you.

I thank you for your kind words, but I have done nothing to earn them.

I'll be the one to judge that.

Then I will judge for myself as well.

Do as you like. Just be ready for the next storm.
